[Javascript] OT: gmail formatting problems

[Paul Novitski]

On all the listserves I belong to, you can always 
tell the gmail subscribers even without checking 
the header because their postings arrive stripped of carriage returns.

Is there a gmail setting they can use to correct this problem?

Or are they in fact using a newline code that my 
Eudora 6 isn't parsing correctly?

I can find scattered references to this problem 
on the web, but as yet no solutions, including on google's site.

Cheers,
Paul
